Comparison of <scp>3D‐</scp> Printed Patient Model Versus Animal Cadaveric Model in Periodontal Surgery Block Course—What Is More Feasible for Beginners? A Pilot Study

With the 3D-individualised model, hemisection and regenerative therapy can be performed realistically, but soft and hard tissue feedback still needs to be optimised. 3D models are useful for teaching periodontal surgery. In the future, if optimised, 3D printing could completely replace the animal cadaveric model, as it offers clear advantages (e.g., easier organisation, better hygiene).
